The Facts about Health and Wellness
Good health is of primary importance to adults in our society.
When polled about important social values, 99 percent of adults in the United States identified “being in good health” as one of their major concerns. Two other concerns expressed most often were good family life and good selfimage. The one percent who did not identify good health as an important concern had no opinion on any social issues. Among those polled, none felt that good health was unimportant. Results of surveys in Canada and other Western nations show similar commitments to good health.
